THE LEGION OF SUPERHEROES ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY THREE

The Legion is bedeviled by URTHLO, a seemingly unstoppable super-being who hides his identity behind a solid-lead fright mask. Only defeating the villain by means of a genuine Hail Mary pass (they liberate doomed Legionnaire Mon-El from The Phantom Zone long enough to smash the baddie, but barely have time to return him to his exile before a fatal lead poisoning claims his life!), the Legion discovers that Urthlo is a robot duplicate of the adult Lex Luthor, sent through time to destroy his greatest enemy and his super-hero pals and powered by “Hate Tapes” – discs which read “Hate Superboy”, “Hate Legion of Super-Heroes” and merely “Hate Hate Hate.” Well, you know what they say about Haters.

What is Gone & Forgotten

Gone & Forgotten is a blog dedicated to the bottom of the comic book barrel; the Secret Wars IIs, the Kitty Pryde and Wolverines, the Green Teams and John Targitts and the one time Krypto swore like a drunken sailor on shore leave.

This blog has been around in some form or the other since 1997 or so, meaning you owe it, like, ten birthday gifts. Some father you are.

It's written by Your Humble Editor, who is actually a blowhard of some note.
